Enjoying the Flavor of a Great Community

Julia Rabago is the executivedirector of Crescenta ValleyChamber of Commerce.

“In our hectic, fast-paced, consumer-driven society, it’s common to feel overwhelmed, isolated and alone. Many are re-discovering the healing and empowering role that community can bring to our lives. The sense of belonging we feel when we make the time to take an active role in our communities can give us a deeper sense of meaning and purpose.” Robert Alan

Come and be part of our community and enjoy dinner with your neighbors on Wednesday, Nov. 14 at the fifth annual Taste of the Foothills at the Marketplace Shopping Center (Ralph’s.) For only $15 for adults and $10 for children 5-12 years old, you can sample tastes from great restaurants. Tell your friends to come and “taste” with us. Entertainment will be provided by the Crescenta Valley High School Jazz Band.

These restaurants take time out of their busy days and already strapped businesses to set up a booth and bring complimentary tastes of their delicious food, all for the community.

The directory is used by thousands of Crescenta Valley residents to shop locally for products and services throughout the year. Ad sales are closing Nov. 30. This directory is distributed to 10,000 residents and businesses in the Crescenta Valley. There are over 350 local businesses that offer their products and services. It is a ready-reference for emergency services, fire, police and medical. It supports local businesses that support our community activities and is a handy, user-friendly, digest-size guide – perfect for purse, desktop, organizer or glove box.
